Plum to Feature Rotating Startenders

At the tail end of his interview with SFoodie, barman extraordinaire Scott Beattie mentions that, despite his serving as bar consultant on Daniel Patterson’s Plum project in Oakland, the bar manager will be local cocktail geek Michael Lazar, co-author of the book Left Coast Libations. “The intention is to have a different visiting bartender [featured in the book] come in each week and feature their drinks,” says Beattie. “It will be a bar venue to showcase all of this national talent.” The book comes out today, and features recipes from a bevy of bartenders from L.A., S.F., Portland, and Seattle, including locals Duggan McDonnell, Jackie Patterson, Neyah White, Kevin Diedrich, and Joel Baker.
